Steel Building Enshrouded By Fog

[AmberCantrell]

In the planning stages, U. S. Steel executives considered making the building the world's tallest, but settled on 840 ft and the distinction of being the tallest building outside New York City and Chicago. However, it eventually lost even that distinction to newer buildings erected across the United States. The U. S. Steel Tower is architecturally famous for its triangular shape with indented corners. The U.S. Steel Tower is the tallest skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the 37th tallest in the United States. Completed in 1970, the tower has 64 floors, one of which I happen to work on.

I took both photos with my phone: the first shot was taken around 7:00am at street level and the second was taken and a few moments later from my floor. It's amazing how much of a change there is between ground level and the top of the tower.

Check out my Flickr to see the rest of the images I took.
